What if I say despite all this ( life in USA is hard, one will suffer, deportation, no help, akatas are wicked, insult, racist, bla bla bla BS) if i have the chance to land into USA even without a visa or passport I won't even think twice police/immigration-officials go chase me tire. Like you guys have any idea how much I've suffered here already? Even a 60years old American might probably never suffer half of what I've suffered in mah lifetime here in naija and Some of y'all are are living in a better/sane country and your telling us not to come both illegal/legally? Ona father. We die there. God punish naija politicians nonsense

majekdom2:
What makes you think with time Canada and those countries you mentioned won’t have more strict immigrants laws. The problem is most blacks don’t add value. I don’t want to think it’s a cursed race. They don’t ever get things right. Give some an opportunity and they mess it up. You go to another man’s country and there you are misbehaving and making it tough for other people with genuine interest. As long as ISREAL isn’t tolerating blacks, with time other countries will follow.

The woman was faithful, funny enough she was a deaconess in her church, I'm not defending totally but the fact still remains that the man built a better life for them. And they're all happy in the end. Patience is key. Imagine if the woman wasn't faithful The man would have had a rethink on preparing a Visa for her.

There are many people in Naija who enjoy life to the fullest more than yankee people sef. Focus on being one of those people.

MrBrownJay1:
Yes Nigeria is not an ideal place for many, but i think you are mistaking here bro..... If you were remotely right then all them Nigerian billionaire (Dangote etc) wouldnt choose to remain in Nigeria. So it is obvious that, with the right amount of money, Nigeria Aint so bad afterall.

Ladies and Gentlemen in Naija, I'll be 100 with you...

If you are dating someone and they are trying to migrate to USA with a non-immigrant visa, and they say they are coming back for you....chances are you are better off just freeing them and remaining friends while you face your life where you are.
I bet you neither you nor them knows the challenges that will have to be faced along this road.

Not every US Visa is a migration Visa. There is schooling visa, visiting visa, etc.
And visas are very restrictive about what you can and cannot do, and if you can even be allowed to apply for any other visa.

When a person has at least a green card, that is US permanent residency, and they are on a home run to US citizenship.
A green card means a person has no serious limitation within the US besides voting (you can do that when you become a citizen).
It is also at this GreenCard level that your trans-atlantic lover can BEGIN the process of sending for you.

But the road to a green card is long and uneasy if you didn't win a US diversity lottery..
Seeing as Nigeria is one of the countries banned from the Us Visa lottery (a program whereby people gamble to win a US greencard), no Nigerian as at some years back can get a quick GreenCard through that route. They have to go the looooong route.

There are various do-able long paths to the US greencard e.g:
- Naija -> School in US -> OPT -> H1B -> Eb2/Eb3/Eb4 employment based GreenCard
- Naija -> School in US (PHD) -> Lots of exploits -> extra-ordinary person Eb1 GreenCard
- Naija -> Have $500k - $1M to "invest" in the US -> Eb5 Investor Greencard. The higher you spend the more the priority (tief tief agbada types love this one)
- Naija -> marry a US citizen or Greencard holder -> Marriage based Greencard.

_{each '->' sign can mean any where from 2-10 years!}

But all these things have been made longer and even sometimes down right unattainable by Trump.
Now, companies that had once hired people through the H1B won't even look at you unless you have an OPT, which means you have more time to "try to get" an H1B.....which you might still kuku not get.
Also, you need to basically be Elon Musk or Bill Gates before you can come in through the "Extra-ordinary person" route.
If you thought you had money before, Trump wants to raise the $$$ range for investing, so the #BigAgbada will probably have to tief more.

The insults are so bad right now that in the US, Trump is trying to fight their 13th amendment so as to prevent people who visit the US to give birth from having that child become an automatic US citizen.

Now if the UK was your target, it's even worse because Theresa May and her people are mimicking Trump's US anti-immigration agenda to the point of them going further by trying to deport black UK citizens with Caribbean origins(https://www.npr.org/2018/05/02/607652305/caribbean-immigrants-to-u-k-threatened-with-deportation).


The only thing still left open that these rulers have been unable to touch/complicate yet is Greencard by marriage...and this is where we continue our thread from...

Your boo will mostly have to marry someone there....but it's not that simple.
This process also takes SEVERAL years before they get a greencard, trigger a messy divorce, rebuild themselves, before then being able to START sending for you.
However it is important to keep in mind that:
- Marrying someone purely for a greencard is a scam and is thus a very serious punishable offense worthy of deportation and a ban from the US.
- The safest thing, is to simply marry for real, live in the same house, etc.
- Sensible marriageable people can smell a potential marriage scam from a mile away now and don't enter marriage with guys/girls who don't have papers.
- Since the prime marriage prospects avoid you, You'd probably have to pay someone with a complicated life to do the marriage deal with...and these persons are usually crazy in some way...as they would have to be to collect money to marry someone they don't know.
- There is also the risk of the person you are married to taking advantage, asking for more money midway and/or sometimes even cancelling your greencard application...meaning it was all for naught and you'd then have to go back home anyway in failure after all the suffer.

It's a hard long risky road, one that you in Naija may be totally ignorant of.
In fact sometimes one could deduce that if the same amount of time, hussle and abuse-reception to get a greencard was spent building themselves in Naija, they probably would be farther in life themselves with more human dignity.

All that said...
The easiest thing for your boo to do is to marry a US resident FOR REAL (you don't wanna fake-marry someone you don't see yourself living forever with) and forget you so he/she can move on with their life. After marriage to a good person for a couple years, there will always come that strong urge to just BE DONE with the trans-atlantic wahala and move on with life, forgetting you in the process. Putting out the bad karma of Divorcing, then waiting to recover, and then the beginning of another battle just to send for you...is a serious long ting. You are basically baggage.

There are still some fairly easier, civilized countries to migrate to right now: e.g Australia, Canada (prepare for cold), etc. But if boo's plan is US or UK, and they didn't go as residents, just move your life along.
Don't stunt the development of your life waiting for all that. If you find a functional stable relationship where you are, go with that and free each other to face your chosen destinies untethered and without baggage.

There are many people in Naija who enjoy life to the fullest more than yankee people sef. Focus on being one of those people.

Bastard Mobutu, I remembered how he was ousted by late Lauren Kabila (the sleeping president) the father of a madman called Joseph Kabila. USA, Belgium and Mobutu destroyed DR Congo (formerly known as Zaire)

chineloSA:
You are the only one who is Yoruba. When your daughter gets old she will prefer the white side.

Your daughter is mixed race and not African Yoruba.

Stop pushing mixed race people on us. They are mixed race and not Africans. You chose to wash down your African genes with a white woman. Don't try to change the future of how Africans should look like.

kjhova:
You said the state of Africa has nothing to do with genetics. I agree with you.

Mr Lugard said Africans are genetically inferior to other races. I disagree with him.

Anything else to add?

Gboy101:
development is a collective thing and not a one man show. black lack collective will. even when you build it for them. they will tear it up.

it doesn't take me a seconds to identify which side you are. you are a destroyer and part of the people tearing the country because the Truth hurts. you don't want to admit that black people have a problem which means you are a destroyer

Gboy101:
the black men never had a written culture and history or religion. they tell stories of the past before the white men came.

kjhova:
You are Nigerian, I guess. Have you ever been to Djibouti, Uganda, Namibia, Mauritius, Rwanda or Sao Tome? I wm guessing no.

So where is this 80% stats from? I want to believe that someone didn't just pull a preferred figure from the rear of their back?!

Africa is poor and their are various reasons for this as their was multiple reasons for places that were once poor. As the law of probability goes, Africa will be well to do at some point in the future. If this is correct, then Mr Lugard's opinion is balderdash and nothing more.

You don't seem to understand the import of what was written; that something is genetically wrong with YOU, yes you and all of us Africans. That we are vermin and somewhat subhuman and forever incapable of ever being humans.

kjhova:
I am of an abundant belief that you are native African. If so, please reread the narration by Frederick Lugard and kindly confirmed if the description fits you as a person.

Gboy101:
why would anyone still think Nigeria would developed still amazed me. there is something wrong with the mind of a black man. you can train him to become a soldier, you can train him to become a doctor, you can train him to become an engineer, you can train him on how to be intelligent and to govern a nation. but you can never train him on how to understand the world.

understand the world and how it works it not a black man thing, this task was forced on black people. the Blackman have something wrong with their mind and that thing is inbuilt.

with what we have seen happening to all black nations we can then categorically conclude that it's a God's problem.

we are all humans does not mean we are of the same breed. same way you can never train some dog breed to be intelligent.

Thanks

Regrettably, religions are not helping much with giving the people proper orientation against these superstitions. Rather, they encourage them to be worse off.

If Africa is developing at all, what worries me more is the slow pace with which our orientation is changing.

At snail speed

Some parts of America is hotter on average than southern Nigeria.
.what of places like Qatar and Saudi Arabia that has terrible harsh climate?

Their skins are also fresh.

When you eat good food, drink clean water, have uninterrupted power, and good hospitals, your skin would look fresh even if you live in the sun.

Igbo stink of resounding hate n bigotry spoting them is relatively easy. For example I can smell any lame duck pathetic Igbo bigot planet apart or light years apart.

Omudia11:
Not in Africa or at least Nigeria. Us being highly traditional/cultural and religious at the same time has helped us in that aspect. Also, Islam has helped put this madness in check in the middle East and all the other areas where muslims are majority. I'm against Islam but that is true.
America and the rest of Europe and Australia has already accepted the filthy lifestyle save for the middle east and Africa. Asia has largely accepted them too. How tragic!

chiboy1116:
I don't understand this country again oh , every lady now na actress , I haven't seen this one oh....gather here if u also haven't seen her Starr in any movie

philip0906:
You should ask yourself why your favourite actresses are dating politicians? Ask yourself why Genevieve with all her fame & "money" was "dating" a married Atiku....Ask yourself why your favourite motivational speaker Toke Makinwa who is "living the life" was dating Baba Fadeyi an old man close to his grave...Abi you know know say money get level?

Some of us have been opportuned to see your favourite feminist flag bearers, women y'all look up to been passed around like meat amongst some of the "classless" big shots. Like I said, you need to step out more, widen your horizon and you'll be amazed

You sound very naive

franchasng:
white men are more polygamous than black men, its just their harsh laws that favor women during divorce or separation that make them act cool while in their country but once they leave their country and go abroad like come to Africa, they sleep with everything in skirt.

Is it not white guys in Nigeria that pay highest to slay queens and oloshos

White men are the highest bidders of oloshos and highest womanizers

Polygamy is a natural affinity in all men of all races and class, take it from me, it takes the special grace of God to control that polygamous desire in a man
